The Arizona Coyotes are set to play the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. However, the team will be without one of their forwards as he is being held out of the lineup sue to ongoing trade negotiations.
Coyotes To Hold Forward Out Due To Trade-Related Reasons
The Coyotes have two games left before the March 8th trade deadline, including tonight's game against the Blackhawks. As the team is looking to be sellers at the trade deadline, this means that some players are going to be held out due to trade negotiations. Tonight, that player is Jason Zucker as he is reportedly drawing interest from several clubs.
Hearing that veteran forward Jason Zucker is being held out of the #coyotes lineup for tonight's game vs. Chicago.
The 32-year-old winger has 9 goals and 25 points this season with the Coyotes. Despite his injury history and age, he remains a useful player that could add some legit scoring depth to a contending team. So far though, we have no idea which teams have asked Arizona about him.
